I REMEMBER THE BERLIN WALL
East Berlin, Germany, 2016 - Leica M7, Summilux 35, Portra 160 * I took the M10 tram which runs along the Berlin Wall on Bernauerstrasse. The history of the Berlin Wall and the communist ideology behind it should remind us of how important a loss of any of our freedom can be. Freedom in all its forms is utterly a precious thing. I was wondering in this tram how ambiguous and misleading the political slogan "Nothing is more precious than independence and freedom" could be. The Berlin Wall which fell on Nov. 9, 1989 divided the whole world. In this globalized world, everybody is responsible to keep it and to struggle to keep it. We never seem to really learn the lessons of history.
